Extension + Movie Posters

Well, things haven't been moving so quickly, and I got the feeling that trying to get this done within a week, as well as write a frikking essay about it, would be nigh on impossible without it looking heavily rushed. So I've asked my tutor for an extension and I now have til January to work on it. Which is handy since I'm also currently doing a commissioned piece of work for Weebl and I wouldn't want to disappoint him. Hopefully, this will allow me to have a much more polished final result.

I drew up a few more mock movie posters for the lobby scene the other day.

The first one is of a guy I affectionately call 'Sexual Harrassment Wig Man'. He was created for the flash game "Poke Me!", an interactive live action game in which players poke me. If they poke any 'sensitive areas', Sexual Harrassment Wig Man shows up and does his sexual harrassment dance.

The character was drawn in flash, first roughed in brush and then traced over with lineart. After removing the lines, I applied inner glow to each of them to make it less flat. After that it was just a matter of sticking it in photoshop, blurring a few bits, adding some gradients and giving it the old 'Dodge + Burn' treatment for filmic effect.


I didn't particularly have any ideas for the third movie poster (hey, there's gotta be three, of course), although my original idea was just 'The Procrastinator', a representation on how frikking lazy I've been. Taking some pictures using my laptop's built in webcam (which is rather tedious to use, since it requires opening a program and then right clicking something on the sidebar), the original plan was just to have me lazing about whilst various other mes just look down on my with disappointed faces. Once I started playing around with some things to make the crops less obvious though, I started playing around with colour overlays and dodge+burning, and I got this really nifty looking scifi kinda stuff. I then threw in some smudging, so that the other mes look like their some spritual race of sorts, and then I added a pattern overlay to give it a lovely finish.
